The S&P 500 lost about 2.5% and the Nasdaq 100 slide increased by 3% ahead of revenue reports from Microsoft Corp. and Alphabet Inc. Those will provide the latest clues on how Corporate America is coping with the initial climate tightening of the central bank in three years. General Electric Co. slipped after the disappointment of its profit forecast, while Tesla Inc. drowned after Elon Musk agreed to use his fortune to buy Twitter Inc.


Financial institutions, the dollar and oil prices all went up, while European gas increased in flow reports.


Expectations of slower economic growth coupled with continued inflation lead to a worse market situation. The number of risks includes an epidemic, a disruption of the supply chain, a crackdown on the Fed and a Russian-led war in Ukraine. U.S. portfolio baths search reflected in the closely related costs of preventing contract losses set at two years.


"There is no doubt that economic growth is in crisis, and that the trend for big banks to manage the soft zone is getting smaller as wages and inflation grow," said Lauren Goodwin, an economist and portfolio strategist. “The big question about the distribution of goods is not whether inflation will be high. That given. On the contrary, whether growth can continue. ”


Profits for U.S. companies provide comfort to share bulls - about 80% of firms have failed to anticipate profits including GE, United Parcel Service Inc. and Pepsico Inc. However, disappointing forecasts, including those from JetBlue Airways Corp., continue to hold stocks.


China Boost

European stocks followed lower ones in the US, erasing profits at the start of the session from positive business results and rising sentiment from China's pledge to support its Covid-hit economy.


Most Beijing people are being tested for the virus, fueling fears of an unprecedented closure that could lead to global growth. However, Dennis DeBusschere, founder of 22V Research, said concerns over inflationary pressures could be exacerbated.


"There are no cohesive pressures from other key supply chain countries as of 2021," he said. "There is a soft demand for consumers in general, service consumption is recovering (estimated cost of goods) and the USD is rising sharply."


The Asia-Pacific budget index has climbed for the first time in four sessions during a 3% jump in Hong Kong tech stocks. China's China Mainland debt has sunk but has avoided the kind of drowning seen on Monday. The yen moved forward between the short cover.
